The 6th installment in the annual series,Green Chile In The Air, from the Southwest’s most prolific producer Diles. Continuing in the spirit of tradition, community, and collaboration, GCITA6 calls upon some of the usual cast from previous years such as Hakim Be, Molina Speaks, Idris Goodwin, Ras Elijah Tafari, Ava Del Cielo, Illuminati Congo and Def-I, as well as some new voices such as A Billi Free, Sina Soul Queen, Shami’Wan, LoveMestiza, MaryJane, XevacheAKANobody, and Chris Brennan (¡Reviva!)… Scaling back from past editions which have featured artists from around the US and world, Volume 6 stays mostly local to Albuquerque with a few guests from a far such as Denver, Silver City, and Chicago.

Sonically, GCITA6 is the most polished to date- a bass heavy mix with intelligent, meaningful, timely lyrics and powerful vocals over “space-lounge-desert-dub” production.
